FALLS UNDER
MOVING TRAIN
Tocfel Luccznick, a Miner, Fatally
Injured while Attempting to Board
of Freight Train.
While attempting to steal a ride on
cnst-bonml 'freight train No. 48 last
Friday morning at Hirdscll, Tocfel
Luectiick, a polish coal miner, on his
way east from Dietz, Wyo., fell under
the traiu and had his right leg crushed
below the knee, besides receiving other
injuries about the body. Tocfel was
in company with a companion, also a
miner, from the same place, who first
attempted to get on tlio train but failed.
Then Toefel made the fatal leap for
the cars as thuy rolled by. Conductor
Will Cruickshauk was in charge of the
train and Engineer Miller at the throt
tle. The train men saw the stranger
by the track as they approached Uird
sell and suspected that they would at
tempt to get on, and saw Toefel when
ho fell. They stopped and picked the
injured man up and brought him back
to this city where Drs. Bcllwood and
Slaglc amputated the limb below the
knee. Toefel was unable to withstand
the shock and died a few minutes after.
His brother, Anthony, from Pittsburg,
Pa., arrived here Monday morning and
the funeral of the unfortunate man held
from Holy Rosary church Tuesday
morning, the remains being interred in
the Catholic cemetery here.
Will Recover from His Injuries.
Fireman D. E. Byrnes who lost his
limb by falling from his engine one day
last week at Belmont tunnel, is resting
comfortably at Box Butte hospital and
there is every hope that he will recover
from his injuries, though for a time.it
was feared ho would not survive the
shock.

MAYNARD MUST
SERVE LIFE SENTENCE
Roy Manyntd, for the killing of Lc
roy W. Barnes in the Burlington eating
house in this city, must servo a lite
sentence in tho penitentiary, tho su
preme court having affirmed tho deci
sion of tho district court of Box Uuttn
county in a decision handed down last
Friday morning. Judge Reese wrote
the opinion.
"Leroy Barnes was shot and killed
January 29, 1907. He was in charge
of tho lunch county at the railroad de
pot. Leroy's father had brought May
nard from Denver to work for him.
After Mnynard had worked six nights
the young man found that some of his
money was missing and as ho learned
that Mayuard was spending money with
a free hand in tho saloons ho accused
Mnynard of tho theft and asked for a
return of tho money. Barnes attempted
to take? 10 from Mnynard, but he was
unsuccessful.
Maynard went to a hardware store,
purchased a pistol and cartridges, went
to the lunch room about 4:30 in tho
afternoon of tho day he was discharged
and demanded an npron aud jacket
that he had there. Barnes commanded
him to get out nnd took hold of May
nard and pushed him out. Maynard
immediately turned and fired with fatal
effect.
Malice on tho part of defendaut was
inferred nnd tho court holds that tho
instructions of tho lower court on this
point were not erroneous. Tho instruc
tions arc generally held not to indicate
prejv lice on the part of tho court. Tho
instruction in regard to self-defence
which was objected to by Maynard is
held to be not erroneous.
It was held that there was no proof
that at tho time of the tragedy the ac
cused was so far intoxicated that he
could not the held responsiblo'for his
acts. While it was disclosed by the
evidence that the deceased committed
a number of assualts upon the accused,
no assault had been made immediately
prior to the time the deceased was
killed and it is held that these facts as
matter of law afford no defense to tho
charge of murder, although they might
be considered in mitigation, tho essen
tial elements at that time having been
iound by the jury to exist nt the time
tho deceased was killed."
Theodore Curry Dead.
Theodore Curry, a well-known young
man of this rcity, died last Sunday

Fox" rooming house, of dropsy. He

without avail, to secure relief. The

months. He has an uncle, Abner Cur
ry, living in the country northeast of
Alliance, where the remains were taken
and tho funeral occurred last Monday
nftcrnon, the body being interred in

Theodore Curry was an old resident
of this county, where he was raised and
was 31 years of age at the time of his
death. His father resides in tho state
ot Washington, but was not able to be
present at the funeral. Deceased was

at the Charters hotel and proved a
